RELIANCE 341135 Reliance Portable Pump Shower

It is convenient to use. If you leave it in the vehicle all day, it warms the water nicely. Can use it to do the dishes or take a quick rinse off.

I use this portable shower for rinsing off sand and salt water after swimming or scuba diving. It works pretty well. Easy to carry around, holds enough water, and the pump operates smoothly. Unfortunately the pressure relief valve is somewhat fragile and my first one broke off after a couple years making the shower useless. But it was good enough that I bought another one as a replacement.

Beginning to use can say much yet.

This is the fourth solar/camp shower that I've purchased, and the previous three were hot garbage that fell either fell apart or stopped working after ONE or TWO uses! A third one didn't even get ONE use, because it COULD NOT HOLD WATER!Well, as they say... Fourth time's the charm, right? (I'm pretty sure people say something like that), and I discovered this Reliance unit. I think the reason I didn't buy it before, was because I was put off by its 2 gallon capacity. I thought I needed something that could hold at least 3 gallons to be happy, but I was wrong. I discovered that you can take a thorough shower with a little less than a gallon of water.This shower is perfect for a single person, or a couple. If you have kids, buy two. You won't regret it! This unit is rugged and durable. The water container is made of hard plastic. You don't have to worry about it it getting cut, or punctured (not easily, anyway), or bursting, or leaking. It comes in a black (neoprene?) jacket that helps it get (and stay) hot... and boy does it get hot! The first time I used it, the water was shockingly hot! Almost uncomfortably hot... Hotter than any other solar shower I've ever owned (and I've owned many over the years). It was almost like taking a shower in the kind they have in houses!Except you're outside... and you're using a sink sprayer.... and the neighbors are looking at you all bent...(maybe that should have been in the first person)But seriously... The hand pump is simple and easy to use, and it doesn't take many pumps to get some strong water pressure. I think it's superior to a whoopee-cushion foot pump, and you don't have to worry about a rechargeable, electronic device failing on you... which it will.Forsake technology! Old ways are better!The sprayer is a garden-variety sink-type sprayer. No multiple spray patterns or anything... so what? It gets you wet with a good, solid spray (provided you pump it up enough). It does the job. The hose looks pretty durable too.Reliance is a Canadian company, which made me feel better than buying a product with a name that looks like it was spat out of a random brand-name generator. The product is made in China (like everything else), but it felt good to support at least a NORTH American company.So far, this thing's been working aces, but if I ever do need to call their customer service -knowing Canadians as I do (I'm part Canadian myself, eh), I'm sure they will be polite and helpful about it.After buying three solar showers that were all complete garbage and shouldnt be allowed anywhere but Wish.com, I'm so happy to finally find a well-made camp shower that actually exceeds expectations among all the flotsam and jetsam out there.And the simplicity of it is the best part. There's literally nothing to break, unless you throw it down a flight of subway stairs, or something. Stay away from fancy electronic pumps and whoopee cushions! Buy it already!

Better than I expected.

great for camping for washing hair on humans too
